Oh boy, more contraversy. I think there are lots of guns in Michigan, so business will likely boom. No pun intended.A Michigan car repair shop owner said he will refuse to serve openly gay customers -- and, yes, that is legal.
Brian Klawiter is the owner of Dieseltec in Grandville, Michigan. On Tuesday, he took to Facebook to announce in a verbose post that he has no problem refusing to serve gay customers on the basis of religious freedom. (Guns, however, are allowed and customers who bring in their firearms are eligible for a discount.)
"I am a Christian," he wrote, in part. "My company will be run in a way that reflects that. Dishonesty, thievery, immoral behavior, etc. will not be welcomed at MY place of business. (I would not hesitate to refuse service to an openly gay person or persons. Homosexuality is wrong, period. If you want to argue this fact with me then I will put your vehicle together with all bolts and no nuts and you can see how that works.)"

This reeks of a publicity stunt to attract business. For every gay rights supporter out there who will boycott his business because of this there are probably 50 knuckle draggers who would be proud to have their car serviced by this asshole.

I'd also like to point out that the guy basically threatened (although I'm hoping it is an empty threat) any customer who disagrees with him to his face, saying "If you want to argue this fact with me then I will put your vehicle together with all bolts and no nuts and you can see how that works."
He already had a "GoFundMe" page.
The moron definitely crossed the line with the following comment:
His open threat to do shoddy and dangerous repairs if he percieves a customer to be 'dishonest or immoral' and yet insistent upon being served should cause him untold grief and invite lawsuits. I imagine that his plan was to get lots of free publicity and perhaps even have a gofundme page opened in his honor. He was a complete and total moron to state anything beyond his right to refuse service to anyone - taking the leap to claiming that he would intentionally make improper repairs just may be his undoing.
Of course you'd believe it in a second that he would purposely damage a vehicle so as to call them injury or death, wouldn't you?
He made such a claim - did he not? Surely a lawyer could try that angle on a jury. Once you assert that the quality of your repair work depends upon your impression of the customer's 'morality' then you are ripe for lawsuits.

We're not in court.
So... three days after his 18th birthday he was charged with assault. WTF does that have to do with his religion, especially now that he's in his mid-30's?https://opencourtrecords.org/case.php?id=11259&hc_location=u
